Caps Face The Sharks

The Caps are set to take on the Sharks at the Verizon Center at 7:30 PM tonight. A win tonight would move them closer to the Florida Pants in the race to be the Southeast Division Champions. The Caps currently sit 4 points behind the Pants. Neuvirth is making the start. Oddly, Holtby was just recalled, so one has to expect that Vokoun is either to sick to back up tonight or he isn’t going to be better in the next few days to start, and they want to have a goalie who can actually play backing up. Who knows. Maybe he will get a start in the next few days.

It’s worth noting that most of the team showed up for the optional practice today, including Alex Ovechkin.
